The Shiro SQ-S solar powered portable media player is a gadget you want to have out in the sun with you, featuring a built-in solar cell that can charge up the gadget pretty darn fast, and play for a good long time. Best part is it doesn’t look to be a gimmick gadget that only shows off a solar cell to suck up to green-minded consumers. It has features that put it on par with other media players.Solar Powered Media Player Does Everything It ShouldThe Shiro SQ-S has a 1.8 inch LCD display, plays a wide range of music formats including MP3 and WAV, has an FM radio tuner, and a photo and text viewer. With 16GB, you’ll expect to hold a whole lot of music, which means it needs to have some real battery power to keep up with you right?

Integrated Solar Cell Charges Media DeviceThe integrated solar cell can apparently charge the device up in just 4 hours of sunlight, and a full charge can last for 35 hours of music playback, and seven hours of video playback. Seriously cool. A USB charger helps out for night time and rainy day charging needs.
